Secretary Dan? iels added to his formal statement in an address to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Military Hospital. To Make Liberty Sure "The men who made Armistice Day possible in 1918," the Secretary of the Navy said, "will never permit anarchy or autocracy to rule here in America. Here, where brave men who made the noblest sacrifices are making ready for future patriotic service, there is no need to make resolution of devotion to Americanism. Your dedication, made in blood trenches, calls for no peace declarations, because deeds live when words are forgotten. "This is not a day for doubt or de? spondency or dalliance. It is a day for national baptism in the faith that sent. American boys unafraid over the top. "My message to civilians is: "Let us follow liberty as the men in arms fought and died for it. To be worthy of them we must join with 'them to make democracy safe for the world.'
